2nd International Media for All Conference – Text on screen, text on air
I have discovered this (highly interesting) conference via http://www.elcuadernodebitacora.org (a page of translation resources maintained by a group of Spanish translators):
The 2nd International Media for All Conference – Text on screen, text on air,
aims to bring together professionals, scholars, practitioners and other interested parties to explore audiovisual translation (AVT) in theory and practice, discuss its linguistic and cultural dimensions, and investigate the relevance of translation theory for this very specific yet quickly expanding translational genre. It is also interested in initiatives promoting cooperation in AVT between the business and the educational worlds.70-346
Special attention will be devoted to accessibility issues, since the conference organisers are especially interested in the progress being made in turning today’s elitist information society into an information society “for all”. Markets worldwide are changing fast, with distribution policies and strategies being shaped by political decisions and economic factors beside audience expectations and needs. Contributions investigating the social and economic implications of making accessibility an a priori fact of life rather than a necessary evil are therefore welcome.
Through papers, panels, and round-table discussions dealing with such issues, we hope to be able to promote new perspectives, reflecting and anticipating the developments of our rapidly changing times.
Text on screen, text on air will take place in Leiria and it will be the first AVT and accessibility conference ever in Portugal.
The 2 day conference (8–9 Nov) will be preceded by one day of optional Workshops (7 Nov).
A Forum on AVT Research will be held on the evening of 7 November. This is an open space for people who are interested in academic research in AVT for the discussion of issues such as finding a research topic, structuring a research project, finding funding, writing a PhD dissertation, pursuing postdoctoral studies, publishing academic papers, running for prizes and obtaining scholarships.

On infinite affection
I can take and enjoy infinite affection. But that doesn’t imply that I require it or even need it from everyone or anyone or you. From polite indifference, through deference to preference and yes, love, the acceptable is non-binary: an ever changing, uncharted, world. —@minibego PS: Like Calvin said: Let’s go exploring!

Juegos, rentabilidad y traducción: Z-Type y Lust in Translation
Estoy aprendiendo muchísimo con mis alumnos: estoy viendo cosas desde perspectivas que no me había planteado antes. Sobre todo, veo que lo que yo considero obvio (porque yo lo conozco, porque mis amigos lo conocen) no siempre lo es. El otro día pregunté en clase, a ver, ¿quién ha hecho algún curso de mecanografía? Y
Google ya tiene diccionario
Me acabo de enterar por su propio blog: Google ya tiene diccionario inglés>español y español>inglés. Ya lo he mirado un rato, y me gusta sobre todo que es original a la hora de mostrar los resultados. De repente me ha recordado a una tarde con mi amiga María, hace ya seis años: acababa de salir
